Thats a really simplistic way of looking at this. “Airline’s have never shrunk to profitability.” Well, airlines haven’t been in this set of complex variables before. Each situation is unique. I’m not saying they should or shouldn’t shrink, but that just throwing that sentence out there doesn’t mean anything with a new complex situation.
